Bedroom Shutters
Are you having trouble sleeping because you can’t decide how to best cover your bedroom windows? Window shutters provide numerous advantages in any room of the house. Plantation shutters are an excellent window treatment for bedrooms in particular.
Shutters’ insulating properties reduce outside noises that can keep you awake at night. They also act as a barrier, preventing outside temperatures from influencing the temperature of the bedroom.
Let’s take a look at the features and benefits of shutters for your bedroom, as well as some design options to consider.
Light obstruction
The first advantage that comes to mind is likely the most important for a bedroom – light obstruction. Close your shutter slats to keep the harsh morning sun from glaring into the room. The slats on our shutters are designed to close flat in an upward direction for maximum light blockage and privacy.
While they are not completely blackout shutters, they will keep the room dark and are designed to keep light out. A light block piece on the shutter frames reduces the amount of light that enters between the shutter panels and frames. If you have more than one panel in your window opening, the panels are designed to overlap one another, reducing the amount of light that enters the room from between the panels.
Privacy
Interior bedroom shutters provide more privacy than other window treatments such as blinds or curtains.
When you’re ready to get up and go, most window treatments must be fully open to allow any light in. You can partially open the slats of shutters to allow light in while maintaining privacy.
Sleep in Peace
Shutters provide additional benefits that promote a good night’s sleep in addition to blocking out the sun in the morning. Shutters’ insulating properties reduce outside noises that can keep you awake at night. They also act as a barrier, preventing outside temperatures from influencing the temperature of the bedroom. This is not only environmentally friendly, but it also means not getting too hot or cold. Reducing the number of times your heating or cooling system activates during the night can also help you sleep better.
Simple to Clean
Plantation and California shutters are extremely simple to clean. Simply wipe down with a duster or microfiber cloth and you’re done! Shutters also keep dust out of the room, which is great news for allergy sufferers. If you keep your shutter panels closed most of the time, you will notice that you do not need to dust as frequently after you have your shutters installed.
